Sumptuous Sunday at The Shala offers participants a once-a-month opportunity to withdraw from the outward pulling, often multi-tasking, demands of their lives in order to enter into a peaceful space where they will be encouraged to do only ONE thing: They will be encouraged to turn their focus inward and to give themselves the gift of their own attention.
Each session will begin with leisurely self-massage explorations using Yoga Tune Up Therapy Balls. These massage sequences are designed to both reveal patterns of tension as well as to soothe them. We will illuminate body blind spots - areas of stiffness or discomfort- in order to nurture them. Next, we will enhance the releases from the massage with slow, gentle movements followed by delicious stretches. Finally, the participants will be shown how to prepare for themselves sumptuous, supportive yoga structures using bolsters, blankets, and blocks. And then, once the structures are prepared, everyone will be encouraged to lie down upon them and to settle into a state of deep rest. Wandering minds will be engaged with guided meditations.
All participants will leave the experience with ideas and techniques that they can explore at home.
Appropriate for all levels.

Leslie Wright shares her deep interest in physical anatomy in her classes, and over time, her students strengthen their own understanding of how their bodies move. Leslie is also a certified Yoga Tune Up instructor—which means that her classes are creative explorations of yoga poses using a diversity of props: blocks, straps, blankets, half-dome rollers, and especially massage balls of various sorts and sizes. Her students routinely use all of the toys in the toy box to support their explorations.
